The annual hackathon and technology conference, Hacklab begins on Friday, 6th April till the 8th April, at the College of Science in Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi, Ghana.

Over the decade, organizations have used hackathons to find code-enabled solutions for everything. It’s now hard to identify a field where a hack day hasn’t been utilized to solve one problem or another. A hackathon is a hacking marathon: a collaborative computer programming event in which a group works under a tight deadline to find software or programming approaches to real-world problems.
